00:00The SST sales and sales tax has been expanded
00:06but only the salmon and avocado
00:10has been announced.
00:12The people ask, why are they burdened with so many taxes?
00:19There are so many taxes, Ladies and Gentlemen
00:22There is a digital sales tax,
00:25there is a low value goods tax,
00:27there is a capital gains tax, there is a high value goods tax, and there is an increase in the airfield tax.
00:36That's it. There are so many taxes that I read earlier.
00:40There is also an e-invoice.
00:43The implementation will be fully started on July 1, 2025.
00:49Everything is on the shoulders of the people.
00:56On the shoulders of the people.
00:58Isn't this a burden?
01:00Is it true that the combined sales and sales tax that has been implemented is in line with the GST 2.0?
01:09I want to ask, after there is an e-invoice, all the sales and sales tax and the SST that has been expanded,
01:17is this actually going to reach the GST 2.0?
01:26I want to ask.
01:28Or I will read a poem.
01:32If there is a famine, say there is a famine.
01:35If there is no people, say there is no people.
01:39If there is, say there is.
01:43If there is no people, say there is.
01:48Tell us. Just say it.
01:51I want to say something.
01:53Jaruk, please say something.
01:55Jaruk, you are in the middle.
01:57Thank you, Jaruk.
01:59Many taxes will be burdened on the shoulders of the people.
02:02Not the shoulders, the shoulders.
02:04The shoulders of the people.
02:06But do you agree, Jaruk, that today's workers have already bankrupted the idea to find capital to save on expenses?
02:15Because of that, they are burdening the people with various kinds of taxes.
02:19What is your opinion, Jaruk? Thank you.
02:21Yes, Jaruk, a little about the e-invoice and GST.
02:24The Minister of Finance can answer.
02:27What is this burden?
02:29Because there is no other idea.
02:31That is what I am waiting to ask.
02:33Please answer.
02:35I want to say something about the dividend tax.
02:43The dividend tax was introduced on...
02:51Your Honour.
02:54Your Honour.
02:56I have a point of order.
02:58What burden is this?
03:01What burden is this, Your Honour?
03:05Your Honour.
03:06Let me finish my point of order first.
03:08Your Honour.
03:10Earlier, you said that the government wants to implement the e-invoice,
03:15but we want to implement GST 2.0.
03:17This is confusing, Your Honour.
03:19Because the Prime Minister has announced that we will not implement GST.
03:23And don't confuse e-invoice with GST.
03:26Please.
03:27E-invoice is a different system.
03:29GST is a different system.
03:31I don't understand Malay.
03:33I don't understand.
03:35Do you want to become a minister?
03:37Please sit down.
03:39Your Honour, please continue.
